Celestron 93326 Omni Barlow Lens, Silver, 2 x 1.25 Inch

Amazing eye piece for the price. This is a very useful item to purchase if you are getting into astronomy as it basically doubles the amount of lenses you have in your inventory by just adding this piece on top. It is amazing quality, perfect size, and there is minimal loss in clarity for the everyday user. If you plan on getting into professional astronomy, this piece may need to be replaced in the near future, but overall it is an amazing piece!

Got this as a gift for my husband and he absolutely loves it. It works perfectly. Arrived in perfect condition just as described. Crystal clear clarity. Well constructed as one would expect.It is a great value. He was so excited to add it go his collection. Completely happy with this purchase.

While this is not the best barlow on the market, it certainly does the job well on a Celestron NexStar 127SLT. I've paired it with an Orion 15mm Ultra Flat Field eyepiece and a Celestron Ultima Edge 10mm Flat Field eyepiece with good results. Viewing is nice and sharp especially on planets. It is medium priced and does a good job.

This was a choice between the barlow lens and the $99 zoom lens by the same manufacturer.While the 8 t0 24 power zoom was very nice, I already has 6 fixed lenses from other sources. What I found is that the Barlow can take my 25x, 15x, and 10x lenses and they become 12.5x 7.5, and 5 power lenses. So, in actual use, I have 6 lenses 25x down to 5x...My scope is the Explore Scientific ED80,the low end one that sold last year for $129, which came with a 25X lens. My tripod is the Nano 3 for $119 by the same brand. This scope + tripod combination is not stable enough for the 5X use, and pretty shaky for 7.5, but both usable if you have enough patience. NOTE : Be very sure to slide the scope body up and down in the tripod clamp area ( with your Barlow and a 20X lens mounted for balance ) , until the scope stops slowly rising or falling off target. )If like me, and an amateur who wants a terrestrial / astronomical budget setup, I recommend this approach. Once you really enjoy the hobby, sell this , not losing too much money, and buy your better ED80...the doublet or triplet version. Keep your Barlow and a couple favorite lenses...you may find the scope itself is more important than several $300 premium priced lenses !

Exactly what I was hoping for! 2x Barlow arrived in perfect condition, was easy to “install,” and dramatically enhanced the quality of my entire experience. I purchased this in a bundle with the Celestron Zoom Eyepiece, and I would recommend the combination to any “amateur astronomer” and/or curious adult with or without an even more curious child. The 2x Barlow and Celestron Zoom Eyepiece makes for a much more efficient experience that dramatically improved the odds of my zeroing-in on some of the more amazing things in our sky that tend to cause more than one spontaneous “wow.” I did my research enough to know this was a quality item at a very good price. I’m not saying there aren’t better options out there for certain people, but this has met and exceeded all of my expectations. It turns out that staring at the night sky with my son is one of the great gifts I’ve been able to harness out of the crazy quarantined would of today. I am very very happy with this purchase!

Perfect addition to our astronomy kit for our telescope. Gave us great zoomed in views of the moon and other celestial objects. Quite exciting to see everything so much closer!

This lens really helped me with the lunar eclipse this morning. I bought this lens just for this event and it did not disappoint I attached it with a 10x lens and used a camera mount.

I didn't have to return it but really caused me an hour of frustration trying to figure out why the lens was capped and if the item was defective. Honestly, I have no idea how the cover popped off but I was tinkering with it very carefully for an hour. Celestron should have made this easier to open - I am sure there have been plenty of returns because of this. Once opened, no issues.
